“Crazy, Baby” By Bnny

Bnny has shared a new single from their forthcoming album, One Million Love Songs, which arrives on April 5th via Fire Talk Records (Cola, Deeper). The track, follows lead single, “Good Stuff.” Through walls of distorted lap-steel guitar and incisive songwriting, “Crazy, Baby” would be devastating if it weren’t so catchy. “I’m crazy, baby,” Viscius admits, “I thought you knew […] I’m just born blue.”

There are one million ways to approach love, one million ways to experience love, one million ways in which love shapes both the course of our lives and how we choose to navigate that course. Many of the tracks across One Million Love Songs take it as a given that love will end. In “Crazy, Baby,” Viscius lays out her approach to love songs: “write one quick ’cause nothing lasts,” she sings, suggesting that any attempt to capture the green shoots of love’s first moments also carries within it the dying and decaying of the tree. Viscius is looking love square in its many eyes and describing, with self-awareness and humor, not only what she sees, but what it makes her feel.

Produced by Viscius and recorded at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza). While those songs have not lost an ounce of their power, performing them every night live across the US and Europe made for a new and different kind of exhaustion. It’s hard to access your grief all the time; it’s even harder to share it. “I wanted to make songs that are exciting to play—songs that make me feel happy,” Viscius says. “This album is about love after loss, getting older, and just trying to have fun with a broken heart.”
